Quoth Time: Not. A. Sport.

GorT, call your office.

An article in Time (dateline -- Beijing (Peking, for you old timers)) is calling for the Olympics to dump two women-only sports: rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming. Ms. Beech aptly states in reference to synchronized swimming that "effort — and a discreet set of nose-clips — doesn't make it worthy of being an Olympic sport." 'Puter couldn't agree more.

In fact 'Puter has said so. Could it be that Ms. Beech has been secretly reading The Gormogons' takes on Sport v. Desperate Cry For Help? It would seem so.

Regardless of whether Ms. Beech came by her conclusion honestly, or totally Bidened The Gormogons (if you link to us, Ms. Hannah Beech of Time, all is forgiven), we extend a hearty "welcome to the party" to her. Anything that contributes to the removal of judged "sports" from the Olympics is good by us.
